Israel's PM welcomes progress toward peace talks

JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister on Sunday welcomed Arab nations' endorsement of indirect, U.S.-brokered peace talks with the Palestinians, saying he is ready to restart negotiations "at any time and at any place."

Israeli and Palestinian officials said they expect the talks to begin by early next week, and one Israeli official said the dialogue would go beyond formalities and include preliminary discussions on "core issues" in the decades-long conflict.

Details on the exact timing and scope of the talks were still being finalized Sunday, a day after the 22-member Arab League gave the Palestinians the green light for negotiations

 

Is it any wonder that peace eludes the middle east?

Israel is not negotiating with so-called "Palestinians," it is trying, and failing, to negotiate with "the 22-member Arab League" and, now, the 23rd member, Obama's White House.

The Moslems, there and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., fail to take any responsibility for living up to Oslo, which Israel's government stupidly endorsed and acquiesced (it complied with the terms; the other side only made unfulfilled promises).

The Moslems, there and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., rail at Israel for building a fence to keep out terrorists, yet the U.S. built a wall - albeit not a very effective one - to keep out mostly non-violent Mexicans coming to the U.S. for work and quick citizenship. (Presidents of both parties have granted amnesty and citizenship to illegal Latino aliens - I have not heard that this extends to other illegals.)

Israeli lives - Jewish, Moslem, and others - are cheap if you think trying to keep suicide murderers out is wrong. It puts me in mind of PETA, the animal lovers' group, that took umbrage when an Moslem loaded a donkey with explosives with intent to blow up the animal amidst a gathering of Jews. PETA was OK with killing Jews, but got upset that the donkey also would have died. (I've had a problem with PETA ever since.)

The Moslems, there and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., are insisting that Israel allow hundreds of thousands of "Palestinians" into Israel, a land most left willingly. (True, some were chased out; there was no place to intern them, as the U.S. did to the Japanese - but not the Germans or Italians who looked the same as most Euro-Americans - during World War 2. The U.S. government was afraid the Japanese were "fifth columnist" (enemy sympathizers and spies); Joe Kennedy, who WAS a German sympathizer, was punished only by being recalled from his ambassadorship to Ireland.)

There is no - absolutely none - question that many of the "Palestinians" confined by the Arab League to refugee camps have been indoctrinated by their masters to hate Jews and to seek to kill as many as they can. If Israel, a small country, can absorb thousands of Jews from Moslem-dominated countries as well as more thousands from Europe (once the British blockade was lifted), you have to wonder why those 23 Arab League states were not willing to absorb the camps' residents? To be fair, Jordan has taken in some "Palestinians" and given them Jordanian citizenship - Jordan is, after all, the greater part of original British-established "Palestine" - but it also must be admitted that Jordan chased many out of the country (into Lebanon via Syria) when they tried to fascinate its king and overthrow the government during Black September.

It is my understanding that the head of the 23rd Arab league nation has put out the welcome mat for "Palestinians" their fellow Arabs won't accept. The lesson of Jordan's Black September must have gone un-noticed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
